co2 Laser surgery benefits for patients Less Bleeding: As it cuts, the laser seals small blood vessels. This drastic reduction in bleeding enables a number of new surgical procedures that are not practical with conventional scalpel. Less Pain: The CO2 laser beam seals nerve endings and lymphatics, resulting in less edema and pain. The patient experiences a far more comfortable post-operative recovery. Reduced risk of infection: This is one of the unique features of the CO2 laser beam. It efficiently kills bacteria in its path, producing a sterilizing effect. Quicker recovery time: Reduced risk of infection, less bleeding, less pain and less swelling often allow the patient a far quicker recovery after the surgery.
Laser surgery benefits for surgeons
Unique surgical capabilities: Laser surgery improves many surgical procedures by making them simpler and reducing risk. This enables surgeries that are not practical with conventional methods. Enhanced visibility of the surgical field: The laser light seals capillaries and small blood vessels as it cuts, thereby dramatically reducing bleeding. This results in a much clearer and drier surgical site. Increased precision and control: The focal spot size of the beam may be adjusted down to a small fraction of a millimeter or expanded for a much wider coverage. The laser power may be set for rapid removal of relatively large tissue amounts, or adjusted to remove only one cell layer at a time. Reduction of surgery time: The hemostatic effect of the laser beam and the improved visibility of the surgical field often reduce the duration of the surgery.
Co2 Veterinary Laser Surgery
Currently co2 laser has been widely used in veterinary surgery procedures. The common clinic applications of CO2 laser include declaws, tumor removal, spays and neuter, and amputations.
• Declaws - Scalpel blade or a nail trimmer is the traditional way of declaws, that was painful and time consuming. Laser surgery to declaw will make cats have little pain. • Amputation - The laser is particularly good at amputations. Minimal bleeding during the laser surgery allows the surgery to perform much faster. • Dog Neuter - CO2 laser can also treat dog neuters due to the advantages of minimal bleeding and less pain. • Skin Tumor - Laser can completely ablate the small tumors lesion and make pets have less discomfort during the recovering time. • Ear Hematoma - One of the CO2 laser features, selectively and gently going through layers of tissue, makes the CO2 laser excellent for ear hematoma due to the small opening needed to drain the fluid. MDXvet sets a new standard for veterinary CO2 laser surgery by combining advanced features with easy, maintenance-free operation. Laser energy seals nerve endings and small blood vessels as it incises or ablates tissue, reducing bleeding, swelling and postoperative pain. Lingovet DC-30B, 30-Watt CO2 Laser equipment, is designed to provide the veterinary surgeon with maximum flexibility and precision, resulting in better surgery, healthier patients, and satisfied clients. Technology Designed for Superior Clinical Results Surgical CO2 Laser equipment DC-30B features articulated arm technology, delivering true laser beam efficiency to the surgical site while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. A diode-aiming beam illuminates the targeted incision or ablation site before and during operation, increasing user accuracy and confidence. Liquid-cooled operation and self-calibration features reduce set up and maintenance time, and completely autoclavable handpieces eliminate the need for costly consumable tips. Surgical CO2 Laser equipment DC-30B delivers laser energy in CW, Super Pulse and Pulsed modes, all included as standard features. The system is configured to include all the necessary tools for nearly all soft tissue surgery applications. Accessories are available for specialty and advanced procedures.
Key features Surgical CO2 Laser equipment DC-30B provids safe, precise and cost-effective laser surgery in the veterinary hospital. Beam Integrity DC-30B features a proprietary titanium delivery system that maintains 100% beam integrity at all times. These results in dramatically increased precision and minimal collateral tissue damage compared to waveguide or fiberoptic delivery systems. Aiming Beam This essential component aids the surgeon in visualizing exactly where the laser will ablate and incise tissue, before laser energy is delivered. Autoclavable Handpieces Handpieces can be reused countless times and autoclaved for sterility. No disposable tips are required, saving potentially thousands of dollars annually in consumable costs. Closed-loop, liquid-cooled cooling system Systems that utilize air exchange mechanisms are highly susceptible to overheating, which can result in unit malfunction. Multiple Modes of Operation CW, Super Pulse, and single and repeat pulse modes are all included as a standard feature, providing complete flexibility. LCD color touch screen control panel with onboard setting recommendations, surgical notes and tips, and integrated self-calibration.
